I need to use the JTAG header to program the Zedboard, since the MicroUSB connector is physically damaged.
I cannot find any documentation or forums about how to use the JTAG connector for programming the FPGA, so I am going to ask for your help.
I have a basic design in Vivado for making switch 0 toggle led 0. The bitstream is ready to be sent to the FPGA. However, when I try to connect to the hardware, by clicking "Open target", it is unable to connect.
When I try to manually connect:
I am using Xilinx Platform Cable USB adapter for connecting the JTAG to the computer's USB input:
I have the driver installed, and it appears in my list of devices when plugged in, and disappears if I unplug it, and is up-to-date:
I suspect the jumpers may not be configured properly? But again I cannot find clear documentation on how to set this up. This is how mine is set up:
Here is some information about my computer:
I am using Vivado 2016.1, since that is used in a lot of the tutorials. I think the Diligent tutorial uses 2016.2. It also comes with the Zedboard board file, although I downloaded the one made by Diligent as instructed in the tutorial.
I hope I have provided enough information. I appreciate any help!
